From raising over 2 million pounds to funding two vital research posts, The David Adams Leukaemia Appeal has helped support the Royal Marsden to patients with blood cancers can receive the very best treatment and care. Other highlights include support for the Nurses’ Library, which is part of the School of Cancer Nursing at The Royal Marsden and fundraising for the state-of-the-art Centre for Molecular Pathology.

The David Adams Leukaemia Appeal Fund was founded in memory of the late David Adams, whose life was prolonged by The Royal Marsden for two years after his initial diagnosis of leukaemia. During those two years, he raised many thousands of pounds for the hospital and his efforts have since been continued by his family and friends.
